Our research group studies the ecology and epidemiology of environmentally-mediated infectious diseases. We use microbiology, genomics, and epidemiology to study linkages between the environment and enteric (food and waterborne) disease transmission, with a focus on water quality, food safety, animal exposure, and climate change. Our goal is to generate robust scientific evidence to address the burden of enteric diseases in vulnerable populations.
